Crime boss dressed as janitor to escape
By Joanna Habdank
It is very unlikely that something like this would ever happen in real life, but evidently it does. On November 14th at 11:44pm, Omid Tahvili walked out of a maximum-security prison and no one stopped him. He was dressed as the jail janitor and the weird part doesn't end there. It wasn't noticed that Tahvili was missing until 8:20pm the next day. Prison inmates are to be checked on at least four times a day and the guards are supposed to see some form of movement or see the inmates skin.
*Prison Guard Edwin Tince is now being tried for helping escape Tahvivi. There is a video tape showing the two of them as Tahvili left the jail. I thought you only see stuff like this on Prison Break. It is astonishing to me that someone "who has worked as a correction officer for then years" would let one bad decision ruin his life. Unless Tince was the guard apparently "checking" on Tahvili, I do not see how it would be possible for his absence to go un-noticed. It seems fishy to me. I believe that Tahvili should turn himself in and be chaged with fleeing the jail and that tince should be charged with suspicion of helping him escape out of the jail. I believe the prison should work on harsher rules when checking on inmates, they should have to say something and be seen at the same time, at least four times a day.

I've been following this story, now it seems that Tavili wants to bargain his sentence and that he is willing to return to prison for time served? Oh please.... seems like he is taunting the CJS. Also looks like he's got no where to run or hide.
